Short on Time

Chapter 18

A huge crash resonted throughout Harrison's house. "Camren!" I shouted annoyed.

"Sorry!" He yelled back as he chased Chloe around the house.

"Why are you chasing Chloe anyways?" I asked as I pulled out a broom and dustpan.

"She pranked me, I need my revenge!" Caleb shouted with a war cry.

I sighed. "Please refrain from braking anything else." I said.

"No promises." Caleb said pulling out a water gun.

"Where did you get that?" I asked.

"Secret stash." He explained as he ran after Chloe.

Once I cleaned up his mess I sat on the sofa and read a book. Currently, my parents are out with Harrison. Once they get back, Barry is going to come and pick me up and we're having a movie night at my house. I heard the door open and in walked my parents.

Another crash rang through the house. "Camren!" I shouted jumping up and running to find him.

"It wasn't me this time!" He shouted back.

I found him and ran after him. "Don't care! Stop braking things." I said loudly as I chased him.

"It was Chloe!" He shouted.

"It seems that they've had more fun than us." Harrison said as he wheeled in.

Chloe came running at the moment, soaking wet might I add. "Mom! Caleb attacked me with a water gun!" She shouted pointing at Caleb who was now trying to get out of my grip.

"Dad! Chloe pranked me, then she broke something and blamed me!" Caleb shouted in response to Chloe.

I rolled my eyes. "Yup, and I had to clean up the mess." I added sarcastically.

My dad got this stern look on his face. "Chloe, Caleb clean up this mess." He ordered.

"But Caleb!" Chloe shouted.

"No it was Chloe!" Caleb added and they started to argue loudly.

I sighed and looked at my parents, my dad was watching the twins with amusment. My mother on the other hand... Her face matched her hair. "ENOUGH!" She shouted.

The twins immediately shut up and ran for it, presumably to do what my father asked them to. I smiled at my mom, she's terrifying when she's angry. "Well I'm gonna go, Barry and I are having a movie night." I said grabbing my coat and bag.

"Wait, we need to talk about something." My mom said.

I looked at my mother curiously as I put my things down and sat down on the couch. "What's up?" I asked.

"Well your father and I have to head back to Europe soon." My mom said.

I nodded. "Yes I know." I said.

"We were hoping to leave the twins in America." My dad said.

"What?" I asked confused.

My mum sighed. "The twins haven't had a normal childhood, and we would like them to graduate in America."

"They both have expressed a wanting to live here, we just can't do that with our jobs right now." My dad explained.

"Where would they stay?" I asked, not even arguing about the twins staying here and my parents leaving.

"We were hoping they would stay with you." My mum said.

I looked at them confused. "Not that I wouldn't love for them to stay, but I don't have the room." I said.
